VELOCITY_ARROWS_SEQUENCE is a MATLAB routine which makes velocity field arrow plots using a single XY coordinate file, and a sequence of UV velocity datasets, stored as TABLE files (except that no "#" comment lines are allowed).
The program is mainly a preprocessor for MATLAB's quiver routine. It reads the (X,Y) coordinates of a set of points from an "XY" file, and the corresponding horizontal and vertical velocities from a "UV" file. It computes the maximum velocity magnitude over all datasets, so that there is a single velocity scale.
It then makes a few settings, calls quiver to plot the arrows, and also traces out the convex hull of the points, which is presumably the boundary of the region. The resulting image is displayed, and saved to a PNG file.
In addition, the program assumes that the user actually has a sequence of UV datasets, with "consecutive" names, each of which is to be plotted. The program automatically reads each such dataset and creates the sequence of PNG files. It is easy to take such a sequence and make an animation.

VECTOR_PLOT is a FORTRAN90 program which can read an XY file and a UV file and plot the velocity and velocity direction fields.
VECTOR_STREAM_GRID is a MATLAB program which reads node and vector data from a file, computes an interpolatory function, evaluates on a uniform grid of points specified by the user, and displays a streamline plot of the vector field.
VELOCITY_ARROWS is a MATLAB program which plots a velocity vector field.
VELOCITY_ARROWS_GRID is a MATLAB program which reads files of node and velocity data, and, using interpolation, creates a vector plot with arrows place on a uniform grid of the user's specification.
VELOCITY_ARROWS_GRID2 is a MATLAB program which reads a single file of node and velocity data, and using interpolation is able to display a velocity vector field along any uniform grid of points specified by the user.
